The Prince's mansion had only been closed for a few days, and seeing that Wen Nuan had obediently stayed in the mansion every day, Chu Tianyang felt a little better.

However, his good mood completely vanished that day.

That day, Chu Tianyang had just gone out to buy some pastries that Wen Nuan liked when he heard people on the street saying that some relatives had come to the Prince's mansion and had already been welcomed into the mansion.

Chu Tianyang had a bad feeling and hurriedly returned to his residence, where he saw a group of people carrying things into the palace.

Chu Tianyang immediately ran to the living room and saw Wen Nuan brewing tea to entertain the guests.

Wen Nuan knew he had gone out to buy her pastries today, so when she saw him return, she greeted him with a smile: "Tianyang! You're back!"

His voice trembled with joy.

He used to blush and feel his heart race when he heard that voice.

I just feel mentally exhausted right now.

His face was cold: "You go down first, leave this to me!"

Wen Nuan was taken aback. Why was this attitude so strange?

Is he unhappy?

"Tianyang, this is your relative from Jiangnan..."

"Shut up! I told you to get off the plane!!!"

Chu Tianyang almost roared out loud.

Wen Nuan felt extremely wronged. She felt that she hadn't done anything wrong today. She hadn't gone outside, and she had prepared tea for her relatives when they came. Everything was fine.

Why are you cursing as soon as you get back?

That's too much! Without saying a word, tears welled up in her eyes, and she turned and ran away.

He used to come and comfort me before I left, but this time he didn't come even after I ran back to my room.

She didn't understand how things had turned out this way, and she lay on the bed and started sobbing.

After Chu Tianyang and the others left, he sat down in the main seat and looked at the newcomer, coldly asking, "Who are you?"

Liu Daru disliked his attitude; he was used to being aloof and superior, and this time he was very unhappy with his expression.

"You're Liu Sisi's son, right?"

After a minute's pause, he continued slowly, "I am your maternal grandfather, Liu Daru. You should have heard of my name."

Chu Tianyang looked him up and down a few times, his expression unchanged: "Oh! What brings you here this time?"

Liu Daru was very dissatisfied with his disrespectful attitude, but there was nothing he could do but rely on him now.

“I’ll be living in Lingnan from now on. I didn’t have anywhere to stay when I first arrived here. I heard you have a lot of empty rooms here. Since they’re all empty anyway, you don’t mind if I move in, do you?”

This attitude is not a discussion at all; it's clearly a notification.

Chu Tianyang's anger flared up instantly. Those so-called empty rooms must be the Warmth Quarters.

Moreover, they might even warmly invite people to come and stay at their home.

He was so angry he couldn't speak.

"Aren't you supposed to be in Hangzhou? Why are you in this remote place?"

Liu Daru didn't hold back any information from him, after all, the pursuers were right behind them, and they needed him to hold them off.

"Since you've asked, I won't keep anything from you!"

Liu Daru recounted the entire story of how His Highness the Crown Prince was chasing him.

Upon hearing this, Chu Tianyang's face turned pale.

Well, either you don't bring people in, or bringing people in has caused such a huge problem!

He felt he couldn't live like this anymore; his life was shrouded in darkness!

Seeing that he seemed somewhat displeased, Liu Daru said angrily, "What? Do you really enjoy rotting in this corner and stinking?"

"As long as you obey me, I guarantee you'll become emperor!"

"I have money and manpower, and you have status and territory. If we join forces, we can definitely help you rise to power!"

Liu Daru was full of confidence, as if he could already see the dawn of victory.

Chu Tianyang felt a chill run down his spine; this was an impending rebellion!

When the former crown prince was about to die, I had considered it, but my decision to give up was genuine.

If this Liu family head hadn't come, he could have lived a carefree life as a prince.

If the Liu family head wasn't allowed to enter, he could easily capture the person, hand them over to his elder brother, and live out the rest of his life in peace.

But now everything is ruined.

He now deeply regrets marrying such a woman.

He closed his eyes weakly.

Patriarch Liu ignored him completely: "By the way, I have 10,000 pursuers behind me. Quickly send someone to stop them outside the city and prevent them from entering."

Chu Tianyang felt even more exhausted.

You're openly trying to drag me down with you! I can't live like this anymore.

Although the head of the Liu family is physically deformed, he still has a knack for manipulating people's hearts.

Judging from his expression, he knew the other party was unwilling, so he dropped another bombshell.

"Are you still thinking that you'll be safe if you tie me up?"

"Do you think your father won't do anything to you since you and Chu Tianling are his only two children?"

"Hahaha, don't be so naive!"

When Chu Tianyang turned his gaze to him.

The head of the Liu family said coldly, "You are not Chu Batian's child at all. He will never care about you!"

Chu Tianyang stared at him blankly: "You... what do you mean? No... this is impossible!"

"Tch! What's impossible about that? Your mother, Liu Sisi, was already pregnant when she entered the capital. She just didn't tell you. The people who helped her with everything were all my people."

The head of the Liu family calmly picked up the tea on the table and took a sip.

He watched Chu Tianyang's face change color, then laughed mockingly: "Heh, you don't actually think that because you were raised by him and called him 'Father Emperor' so many times, he still cares about you, do you?"

"Don't be naive. If you really existed, why would we send you to this remote and impoverished place?"

Chu Tianling's mind was in complete turmoil. "No way!" he thought. "My mother is still a Noble Consort. The Emperor wouldn't be so heartless!"

Patriarch Liu dropped another bombshell: "What do you mean you wouldn't be so heartless? Do you think your mother has had a good life all these years?"

"Let me tell you, Chu Batian never touched your mother! All his kindness towards her was fake!"

Chu Tianyang's last thread of emotion snapped, and he sat on the stool, speechless for a long time.

Taking advantage of the situation, the head of the Liu family said, "No matter what, I am still your maternal grandfather. Listen to me, immediately send someone to the door and don't let anyone in."

Seeing Chu Tianyang's useless appearance, he didn't care at all and ordered his servants: "Go to the palace and get a few sets of clothes, then go to the city gate immediately and guard it. Do not let the pursuers in."

Chu Tianyang was perfectly clear-headed and knew he was finished, but he had no strength at all and remained sitting on the stool without moving.

The head of the Liu family didn't bother with him at all. After leaving, he still had to arrange accommodations for his own people.

And he unilaterally decided that this place would henceforth be his territory.

When Zhou Tianqi arrived, the guards at the city gate had been replaced by skilled martial artists, all of whom were people brought by the Liu family head.

Zhou Tianqi had no choice but to send someone to inform His Highness the Crown Prince and ask what to do next. He couldn't force his way in, so he quickly sent someone to inform His Highness the Crown Prince.
